Generally, the prosecution must provide discovery within a set period after the defense's formal request, often ranging from a few weeks to several months. Evidence should be available to the defense either at the preliminary hearing or after the accused has been indicted by a grand jury.
(b) Document Demand: As the name indicates, this is a written demand in which one party demands that the other produce certain documents for inspection and copying. (This device is also referred to as a notice of discovery and inspection). The demand must define the items sought with reasonable particularity.
In California law, a "Demand to Inspect Property" is part of the discovery process in civil litigation. It allows a party to request the inspection of physical evidence relevant to the case. This can include asking to inspect private property to find or examine something that is directly related to the lawsuit.
After a summons with notice is served, the defendant will demand that the plaintiff serve a complaint. The plaintiff must then have the complaint served within 20 days after being served with the demand, or the case may be dismissed.
This means the other side in your case wants to get information from you. This is a legal process called conducting discovery.
You have 30 days to serve a written response to document requests, but you may ask the other party for more time. If the other party declines, you may write to the judge to ask for an extension of time.
Standard Timeframe in NY: Under NY CPLR 3130, a party may serve written interrogatories upon another party after the commencement of an action. Typically, the recipient has 30 days from the date of service to respond.
